BUZZ ALDRIN
Standing in front of a background of the moon in a NASA spacesuit
with ALDRIN printed on the chest and his helmet resting on a table beside him.
Photograph Inscribed and signed: "To DOUGLAS VOEGLER/WITH BEST
WISHES/Buzz Aldrin". Color, 8x10. Official NASA photo. Captioned at lower
margin and on verso. Aldrin, a 1951 West Point graduate, had flown 66
missions in Korea, winning the Distinguished Flying Cross. He flew F-100s in
Germany before persuading the Air Force to send him to M.I.T. for a doctorate.
Although he was turned down for the astronaut program in 1962, Aldrin was later
aboard one Gemini mission (Gemini 12), and became a close friend of
astronaut Ed White, one of the Apollo I astronauts who died in a launch
pad fire. Aldrin and Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong left the patch
from that ill-fated mission on the surface of the Moon. During the Apollo
11 mission, Aldrin had piloted the Lunar Excursion Module, Eagle, and
became the second man to walk on the Moon. Horizontal crease at lower
margin. Paper missing on verso due to tape removal (no show through). Otherwise,
fine condition.
